I spend very, very little time here; both of the people I mentioned were on other sites (though they may post here too, for all I know). If you would like some other examples, take a look at this, this, and anything that Ann Coulter has ever said about anything.
"Why not journey over to DU and check out the reactions whenever a conservative is ill or dies."
And I have spoken against that whenever it has happened. My point is not that there isn't also a lot of hatred on the Left, it's that nobody on the Left has been driven by that hatred to gun down conservatives.
"you are still being irrational"
Were these posts, which were made before the gunman's motives were made public, also irrational?
"This is a symptom of a culture that feels free to spew venomous hatred and bigotry against people of faith. There is no doubt we will begin to see more of this."
"However, I do believe the current anti-religious bent of the press and certain institutions offers an 'excuse' to those with loose screws."
"If not some sort of secularist/materialist 'absolution' for reducing the number of 'those dangerous religious people'.
"Or some sort of 'Sam Harris/Christopher Hitchens Medal of Honor'."
"Unbelievers don't see the difference between Bible-based churches and non-Bible-based churches. They hate them all. I think it was yesterday that police shot an armed man who was preparing to attack a Christian radio station.
"Obviously we don't have the details yet, but the anti-Christian fervor that's building in this country and being fanned daily by the MSM, could easily have played a role."
"Another Theo-phobe on the loose."
And so on. Yes, there were quite a few people who disagreed with these comments, but none who considered them "hysterical" or "irrational".
"your hyperbole on the first post makes me wonder if you will go over to the Middle East and tell Ahmadinejhad to calm down his inner demon."
How many people do you, personally, know whose lives have been destroyed by Ahmadinejad? I know quite a few. Before it was outlawed, Ahmadinejad belonged to an organization devoted to the extermination of my religion. Incidentally, I actually have briefly communicated with Ahmadinejad via his blog (though he edited my post to make it seem as though it was supportive of him), and also once sent him an email regarding his country's nuclear program.
"I find you to have more tact than a Murray Mom"
A what?
"and I just will ask you to link to a post that has you acting like a missionary to the Left."
And bring a swarm of Freepers down upon our heads? No thank you. However, if you tell me how to send it to you privately, I'd be happy to.
"So what is so bad about hate?"
I defer to Those more eloquent than I:
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..." —Matt 5:43-4
"The attributes of God are love and mercy; the attribute of Satan is hate. Therefore, he who is merciful and kind to his fellowmen is manifesting the divine attribute, and he who is hating and hostile toward a fellow creature is satanic. God is absolute love, even as Jesus Christ has declared, and Satan is utter hatred. Wherever love is witnessed, know that there is a manifestation of God’s mercy; whenever you meet hatred and enmity, know that these are the evidences and attributes of Satan." —'Abdu'l-Bahá
